Topic: [KARA] 5 suit playing cards = KARDS (Read 5590 times)

Inspired by 5-member Super Girl group KARA, I created a 60-card deck of playing cards consisting of 5-suits and 12 ranks. The 12 ranks are 1 to 9 and three face cards, which are in order {N}yeo, {W}ang, and {S}hin.

poKARA = pokerShip = pair2 ship = two pairTrips = three of a kindQuads = four of a kindKARA 5 = five of a kindMr. = straightHoney = flushMr. Honey = straight flushUmbrella = full house/boat (upside down boat)Jump card = runt / no pair / high cardRider = 4 of one suitCupid = 3 of one suit, 2 of a second suit (hand has only 2 suits)Mr. Rider, Mr. CupidCupid 2 ship

KARA = one of each idol; can be a modifier if a 5-card hand consists of one of each idolKARA ship = single pair where each idol appearsKARA 2-ship = two pair where each idol appearsKARA Trips = three of a kind where each idol appearsKARA Quads = four of a kind where each idol appearsKARA 5 = five of a kind (by definition, each idol must appear)KARA Mr. = straight where each idol appearsKARA Umbrella = full house where each idol appears

Design concepts:

Each idol should be distinguished by a different color. For instance, Gyuri could be gold, Seungyeon blue, Nicole black, Hara red, and Jiyoung green.

Idol symbols are tiny faces of that idol or other distinguishing feature. Gyuri is gold mirror, Seungyeon is blue hedgehog, Nicole is black drumstick, Hara is red heart, Jiyoung is green Q-tip.

Pretty girl cards (face cards) are depicted by large images of individual members, ideally matching them by value. For instance, Goddess cards are taken from Urakara; Queen cards from Lupin; Princess from Wanna.
